It's not like he wants to talk about Pryde and the Tin Can. Ever.
But...
She'd been there for him when Maureen...
It's only fair. It's the right thing to do.
"Yeah," he says quietly. "Look, if you need to talk or...I dunno. I just..." He rubs his eyes. He knows he'll regret his next words, and he says them anyway. "I'm here if you need me."
He braces for impact. He knows that she's never needed him. He knows that right now, in all of this, he's probably the last person on Earth she wants to talk to, especially with all her mates around.
But he's not a complete bastard. Mostly. Sometimes.
"Anyways," he says. "I'll leave you be, then aye? A lot goin' on an all."
